The Saints’ Shore Waya walk along the northern coast of Brittany
The idea came from the Saints Way in Cornwall. This 42km trail from Padstow to Fowey is a suggested route taken by holy men and their followers during the great period of migrations mainly from Wales during the Dark Ages. Cutting across the Cornish peninsula by land would avoid dangerous seas around Land’s End. From Fowey it is envisaged that they sailed for Armorica (Brittany didn’t exist then) to evangelise the region or went on to Jerusalem or Compostela on pilgrimage.
Other themes in the guidebook link Britain and Brittany too: the linen trade which brought great wealth to Morlaix and the surrounding area in the 16th and 17th centuries, the clash of corsairs in the Channel and the activities of the Resistance during the occupation of Brittany in WWII.
The Saints’ Shore Way introduces the visitor to the outstanding beauty of the Breton coast in all its aspects, and the rich resources of Brittany’s past and present.
